A more intimate way to see the Greek Islands
This eight-day Aegean sailing is built around small-ship access, Greek island scenery and time in places where history and everyday island life sit side by side. The route begins and ends in Athens and reaches Patmos, Amorgos, Santorini, Milos, Delos, Mykonos and the Peloponnese.
I like this option for travelers who want the ease of unpacking once without moving onto a large resort-style ship. You get a polished onboard experience while the destination stays at the center of the trip.
